Just for BK as i know he is a fan of modified Sports and large houses, i am going to post some pictures
over the following week as the vehicle transforms from its original chelsea tractor look to something more
akin to taking on the Australian wilderness.. Today it was a gentle affair..

A set of General Grabber AT's all round and a set of Land Rover Rubber mats for the passenger and cargo areas
those pictures tomorrow..

I will also post a picture of my house in the Whitsundays to ensure BK is happy that the Sport has sufficient room
to move in its environment  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Zilchy, you are being a cad modified RRS, no. But maybe modded for a trip isn't as bad as Chav mods. Big houses, well, yes, I do like lots of walking around room. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

BK osmosis nearly complete, i can pick it up tomorrow from Opposite Lock.. just waiting on one of your neighbours to deliver some bits in the coming weeks and it will be complete, i will post some pictures by the end of the week with the modifications.. trying to avoid the obvious such as ultra low profiles, neons, and basic chav accessories including burberry trim

Cheers

I'm sure the low profile tyres fitted on 24s will be just the ticket for your Cape Trip!!?? By the way is your RAI snorkel thingy/bong sealed?

Have a great trip.. RRS P460e
1983 2 door Range Rover ARB Bar X9000 winch ARB Rear Bar now semi retired.
Many big trips done in this one.
1982 Rangerover nearly restored.
22 Defender D250 with lots of stuff for outback touring
Nice 2013 Freelander TD4 manual (for daughter to learn on) with much better stereo compared with previous SD4 SE with Meridian which sounded bad!
2013 Land Rover Defender ute.

Jools yes, the local dealership assisted Opposite Lock on turning it from a RAI to a Snorkel if you get my drift,
so none of that good stuff escapes  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I wish I could have one of those front bumpers (minus the roo bar) here in the UK...

Looking good  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Looks like you have at least spent the $ on quality Zilchy. I like the winch and now it's a proper off road vehicle for the Cape Trip. Not pretty but classy in its own way and fit for purpose. Will you ever de mod it?  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Bk if it devalues from any future resale then I have the original front bar and trims to put it back
Into its original condition, as well as the side vent, however the snorkel does add some panache
Everything else is bolted underneath so out of sight

The roo bar may be a necessity on the trip, approx 8000 k's return from Sydney to the northern cape and back
You see plenty of suicidal wildlife on display by the side of the roads  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Hi.

Is the Futura 2 door yours? Looks like a great resto!

Cheers,
Lew.

Lew no, the pictures were taken outside of Opposite Lock so must be one they are working on Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

take a look at the G4 challenge Sports, they have the standard bumper with the winch fitted behind
so nearly out of sight, Mike_S on here has one, so check his galleries.. i do believe though LR have
a royalty on the winches and they are only available thru them.. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
